People give all manner of toys as gifts during the holidays. Some are big hits, others flop. I think the best ones are fun and stimulating while at the same time teaching a skill or concept. In that spirit, here are some toys that fall under the broad umbrella of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Please add your own gift ideas in the comments section!

If I was to design something like this I would try and make my own transformer, how cool would that be!!
